I honestly found it more offensive that the priest took his tone deafness for provocation and kicked him out. He should have told him that his tone was out of place and that the differences he learned about where rather superficial ones. Only when it became clear that the guy meant to be offensive should offense be taken.

[@HG_Budde]

Let me put it this way: · In Germany, if the child is old enough (16+) it is considered a borderline family movie because it's a piece of cultural heritage, and so are all of the Werner movies. I remember the family including one pair of grandparents sitting together in the evening and watching it on TV. And yes after 8:15 PM they show things like that because luckily our freedom of press and speech includes swearing on TV. · In the US they would arrest the CEO of the channel for showing it and the writer fired without compensation and blacklisted, in the Southern States and Utah probably even lynched by "concerned parents", although they were the ones letting their children watch it unsupervised in the first place. 😅

[@itskyansaro]

I mean at 16 in germany you're borederline adult already. Limited ability to close contracts, first step of legal drinking age, allowed in some cases to begin taking driving lessons and alsoallowed to work.

It is only said that he is married and lives in Hamburg. Not only is he known for Kleines Arschloch or Käpt'n Blaubär, he also is the mind behind the Hitler-Parody "Ich hock in meinem Bonker" and wrote many books beside the known ones. He developed a whole Fantasy Universe around a fictional Continent called "Zamonien", on which so many different Beings and Creatures are living and he wrote as much as nine whole books around them - each of which brilliantly written and full of passion. I dont know if these books are translated into other languages but i highly recommend reading them to anyone!

Some of the lines are not good translated and are much worse. But thats normal. English movies lose lot of fun in the german translation and vice versa. By the way, the movie is like PG-13 (12) here in germany and yes, it is aired in the free TV and in cinemas.

[@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece]

Animation in general seems to now get very low age ratings across the board. For example the second Made In Abyss movie, Dawn of the Deep Soul is also FSK12, which puts the German rating among the lowest world wide. That had me doubting if I had watched the same movie as the regulators. So I checked the reasoning. Which boiled down to: The setting is mostly what saved the rating. Because they deemed that viewers above the age of 12 could clearly tell this apart from reality.

[@gi0nbecell]

"The little Asshole" is a comic book character created by Walter Moers. He has nothing to do with Werner, created by Brösel. His first appearance was in a comic book in 1986, the movie was released in 1997 with a FSK 12 (FSK is the _Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle der Filmwirtschaft,_ voluntary self-control of the movie industry - the equivalent of CARA/MPAA for movie age rating. The big difference is, that - for sales and cinemas, at least - the FSK ratings are legally binding. There are the follwoing ratings/age restrictions: Free for all audiences/without age restriction; FSK 6, FSK 12 - a movie with this rating can be seen in cinemas by kids over 6 when accompanied by a parent - FSK 16 and FSK 18). As you can see, Germany is quite lax in terms of curse words, sexuality and similar things, but restrictive in terms of violence (most notably, glorification of violence, which can even be a crime). The character _The Little Asshole_ is literally exactly that: A politically incorrect sob, who is about 12 years old at the time of the movie. He sells his sister slip to a classmate, drugs hios neighbour's dog, drugs the punch at a school party leading to a mass orgy. The only person who likes him is his gandpa, known as _Old Fart_ (Alter Sack, it's the most accurate translation used in English). There is even a 2006 sequelt (that has a FSK12 rating as well), titled _"The Litte Asshole and the Old Fart - Dying is Shit",_ but it was way worse recieved both critically and commercially. Probably mostly because it utilised the exact same form of humour, the exact same tropes and similar punch lines, that were simply out in 2006. Ah, btw: Yes, this mocie can be freely broadcast on tv, as broadcasting restrictions are also influenced by FSK ratings. And those restrictions don't apply to anything under FSK16 (no broadcasting before 10pm). As to the lews: I would imagine the word being used to underline the joke. iun German, it's _Luden,_ as opposed to _Juden,_ like the priest said: "Whith a 'J', not an 'L'!". _Lude_ is a sort of oldfashioned colloquial word for _pimp,_ hence the referece to the _Reeperbahn,_ a street in Hamburg and Germany's most famous red light district.

[@andromedus4029]

Absolutely love your reaction! "Kleines Arschloch" is about as reverent and politically correct as "Blazing Saddles", imo. A brief note to the translation: "Evangelisch" is "Protestant"; "evangelical" is usually translated as "evangelikal". A "Lude" is a pimp, so the term "Lews" is possibly/probably derived from "lewd". Thank you so much for sharing!

[@Anson_AKB]

yes, as a protestant or being evangelic, i have to protest against us always being called evangelical/evangelicals. that part of the christian faith is more radical while protestant/evangelic is simply one of the two main branches of christianity in germany/europe that split off from catholics after Martin Luther several centuries ago and probably also changed a bit more over time. there are many more, but those two are THE widespread versions, in contrast to the usa where seemingly almost every church has some other variant and more diverse and radical groups are better known than "our" two main versions ... sorry, i have no idea what exactly "Lutherans" are (maybe more strictly adhering to the first version after the split?); there are just too many branches (often contradictory to each other) on the big christian tree which is itself only one in a forest of related trees (eg judaism, islam). ps : Lude = pimp, and Lude just sounds similar to Jude. translations are always difficult, and even more so when trying to keep some jokes. thus for the subtitles they tried to mimic that accoustic similarity by not traslating it as pimp and instead calling it "Lewds" (sounds similar to Jews)

[@joco3382]

In one part i‘m not with your opinion. Protestant isn‘t one of two main christians in Europe. Behind Poland (after Vatican the most catholics) you can go to east, Belarus or Russia. And you can go to the south, Serbia or Greece. There life a lot of orthodox. But Germany, sure. North is more protestant, south is more catholic.

I would recomend you try to watch the hole movie ("Das kleine Arschloch") as well as the sequel (Das kleine Arschloch und der alte Sack") The movies Show a very dry and cynical side of german society and families. I love the movies as well as the comics and Walther Moers is a well known author with a huge fanbase!

[@skariarecords]

its not a bad translation because you have to keep the Juden-Luden Wordplay in it which i did with Jews-Lews

[@wallerwolf6930]

It is simply not possible for another native speaker to get a truly authentic translation. A lot gets lost, especially in a pun that involves rhymes or words that have no similarities to one another in English, for example. As in the example described.

[@Anson_AKB]

yes, such translations are difficult, or even impossible when also trying to preserve original jokes and plays on words. i found it great that they made the effort to try it. the only improvement might have been to add the word "pimp" in parentheses after the word "Lewds"

[@florianwickenburg14]

Greetings from germany and yes: this movie is broadcasted on television sometimes! Its so funny and a real important part of my time as an teenager!

[@NWGJulian]

Ihr habt alle gefickt! thats my favourite part :)

[@purzelblumek.3132]

It should be mentioned ,that the artist/author Walter Moers ist also an outstanding fantasy author. (Most of) his Zamonia novels are wonderful

[@t_7692]

Ok, Ryan got us, he literally finds the german sense of humor 😂

[@deires77]

Gosh love....we watched the movie when we were kids in Germany. Nothing wrong with it, just naughty fun 😂 Our parents watched it with us. If we had talked and acted like the little A-hole we would have been in trouble, but laughing about an obviously chaotic politically incorrect cartoon....no issues there. Your reaction really cracked me up. Thank you for that 😊

[@windhelmguard5295]

ye south park wishes they could be this offensive.

[@embreis2257]

8:34 'hopefully, the kids weren't listening.' it's alright, the whole film is certified for kids 12yrs and older. that is why TV stations air it past 8pm.

[@emiliajojo5703]

Yes-we can!

[@vhaelen326]

fun fact: the guy who made this movie (walter moers) also published several fantasy books which are a great read (they are nothing like this movie) the thing is they appeal to both kids and addults and they definitly have some of that "german fairytale" flair with some gruesome details, a couple of years ago the books or atleast some of them got translated into english and half of the amazons is just (presumably) americans telling people not to read the stories to their children

[@viviswunderland]

I always loved that movie. It is made to piss off EVERYONE 😂 It's art. 😁

Suggesting this to you was a fantastic idea. Imagine an American turns on the hotel TV in the afternoon in Germany and sees that movie!

Im from Germany and this movie IS exeptionesly nostalgic to me. If IT IS somehow possible, could you pleased react to the full movie. (The two of them). Both of These movies are pure Comedy cold Just Like the Werner searies. A part of German culture. And let me Just say i Love your reactions, cool to See Others people interestet in Others cultures.❤️

[@KingJuliens137]

You should watch the full movie! And react! I‘m German, and i showed that my collegaues in US (near Detroit), red heads all the time. Because of the content. More f**k jokes, against Country Songs, against Nazi‘s, elder people… In 1997 it was mindblowing.

For the Catholic tongue thing, the ooooolder generation (think 80+ today) still stick the tongue out, the others get theirs in cupped hands and put them in their own mouth. But I beg to mildly disagree (with the movie) on the "no wine for Catholics". AT least where I grew up, they stopped giving it to all because having everyone drink out of the same cup is kinda gross, but the priest and the main helpers still drink out of the same cup. Otherwise, yeah, no censoring of swear words and such in movies etc.

[@BadMoonHorrors]

it has a 12+ rating in Germany. For comparison, that's the same as Jurassic Park (PG-13), Pretty Woman (R), Hocus Pocus (PG), Titanic (PG-13), Deadpool 2 (R), Alice in Wonderland (2010) (PG).

[@Huettnera]

"Standard" Deadpool 2 is FSK 16. Only the "Once upon a Deadpool"-Christmas-Cut was FSK 12 when it had it's limited cinematic run in germany. But everything else is correct! I always wondered, how Jurassic Park got away with FSK 12... And Pretty Woman is the best example for the "different view on sexuality" in the US and in Germany or in most of Europe in general.

[@BadMoonHorrors]

@@Huettnera Damn, I let myself getting tricked by IMDB. Thanks for the clarification.

[@olli1068]

The "Werner" movies and the "kleines Arschloch" were only partially made by the same people. "Werner beinhart" was released in 1990 as the first of a series of movies, the sequals followed in 1996, 1999, 2003 and 2011. They were created mainly by the brothers Andi and Rötger Feldmann. "Das kleine Arschloch" is based on a comic book series by Walter Mörs and released in 1997 (the church szene is only a small section of the 82 minutes movie). However the producer of the "Kleines Arschloch" movie, Hanno Huth, was also co-producer of the second "Werner" movie and Michael Schaack directed the "Kleines Arschloch" as well as the first and the fourth "Werner" movies. I guess, some of the crew also worked for both movies. The drawing style has some similarity and for sure they have a lot of common fans.

But this Szene is from the Movie from 2006.

Nah, in Germany, most of the Katholics don´t get the wafer (is this the right word) directly to there mouth. That´s discusting. But some do it. Edit: the whole Movie is full of Stuff like that. My favorite is when he goes outside with the Dog Peppi.

I will be honest...I was watching this picture at the movies when I was 19 but didn't like it too much. Seeing this clip now - and seeing Ryan beeing to 'gobsmacked' by it, is just great...I must definately rewatch this...

[@stef987]

I must have been around 20(maybe younger?) when I watched it, even though I was 12 when it came out. I never really liked it, either. To me it was just about a kind of disgusting character swearing all the time, not much else.😅 No wit, etc. Maybe I could watch it again sometime to see what I think about it now in my late 30s (especially after remembering my father laughing at some of the scenes). Seeing Ryan be so shocked was priceless, though.😂

[@Anson_AKB]

children might have liked it because of swearing, and adults often disliked it for the same reason. common to both groups: they let some apparently obvious language determine their thoughts. listening closely to WHAT was said in that language by slowly watching single scenes and also by seeing this reaction shows what really might have been intended, and the great sarcasm and critique.

[@Lielan001]

The song "Sündigen" from this movie is awesome. You should watch it

[@RiverSt.Augustin]

Everyone here in German-speaking countries probably knows this film... many people hate it, but everyone - really everyone, can quote at least one sentence from it... it's cult. Maybe Ryan should have been warned...😅😂😂

Jew - Lew is an attempt on the German alliteration of Jude - Lude. "Lude" is a word (in Berlin cant from the 1900s) for "pimp", originally short for "Ludwig" = "Louis" - and the French forename "Louis" can also stand for "pimp" (as Puff-Louis = brothel Louis), allegedly by some reference to the French kings Louis XIV to Louis XVI.

[@morizi3722]

🤣🤣I love this movie🤣🤣

[@ArmandoBellagio]

With "lews" he meant "Luden" which is another word for pimps in German. That's why he was mentioning the Reeperbahn in Hamburg (huge redlight district).

[@alvarTV1991]

Oh my Lord it has been Years. "Das kleine Arschloch" is such an amazing movie. Yeah it is hard to describe what it is, some kind of Art obviously. But it has been always really controversial. And I'm also quiet certain that in todays time this movie wouldnt be in Cinemas. And this movie was also PG-12 which is quiet insane :D

[@flowerpauer]

Greeting from Germany I had to laugh a lot at your reaction and yes, we swear a lot on TV, that's kind of normal here, even if this example is a bit exaggerated🤣

If i remember correctly that scene is actually from the Sequel Movie (The Little Asshole and the old Geezer) and believe it or not, it´s quite tame in comparison. And yes, it was shown on FreeTV frequently in the afternoon or evening program.

There's a bit of a false friend situation when translating German christian denominations: Evangelisch does not equate to the American "evangelical", but is rather a broad term for the protestant church that came to be thanks to Luther. Germany has two big denominations: Katholisch and evangelisch.

That was our favorite film at my German high school. One time a class was canceled and we persuaded the PE teacher to let it play. It took a while for him to understand what was going on. The end of the film is also a blast, where he pours LSD into alcoholic devices at a party thrown by his teachers and it all ends in an orgy.
